The Alexander School in Jackson, TN, was found in 1909 [1]. Thanks to Anthony Cresap, we are pleased to share this 1922 class photo. Anthony’s grandfather, Warren Willis, was a student there. Click on the photo to enlarge.

The back of the photo contains a list of student names. Best as we can determine (may not be perfect), the transcription of names appears below (one of the boys appears to be unamed?):
